Building and Operating Robust and Reliable ZigBee NetworksThis paper is based on a presentation given by Daintrees CTO, Zachary Smith, at the 2008 Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in San Jose. Theres more to ZigBee development than just porting your code to a ZigBee platform and turning it on. Key techniques and system components are covered. In addition to application components and entities, a ZigBee network must contain infrastructure components that will help the network operate securely... preview: http://www.daintree.net|

Going Green with AMI and ZigBee Smart EnergyThis paper provides an overview of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), including the cost savings and environmental benefits it can provide. It then looks at how ZigBee fits into this picture, and the ways in which ZigBee (together with its Smart Energy application profile) is ideally suited for the development, delivery and on-going support of AMI solutions.

RF Power Options in ZigBee SolutionsAmong the new ZigBee wireless standards many desirable attributes, low-power is perhaps the most frequently mentioned. That descriptor sits at the center of the ZigBee Alliance mission statement, and also forms the last two words of the Alliances stated objectives. The emphasis is there for good reason: Designed to deliver wireless networking to even the most humble devices including devices that run on batteries lasting for years... preview: http://www.cirronet.comdate: 9/1/2005 |

Wi.232DTS vs. Zigbee - Comparing proprietary and standards based solutionsThe market for RF modules in 2004 will be largely proprietary, about 95%, and by 2010 will become largely Zigbee, about 75% [4]. However, a more recent market-centric recently released about the AMR and sub-metering market predicts that in 2004, the market will be largely proprietary, about 98%, and in 2010 will still be largely proprietary, by a lesser margin, at about 75% [2]. This illustrates a growing controversy over the ultimate... preview: http://www.radiotronix.com|

Zero Power Wireless Sensors PaperWireless sensors are becoming increasingly integrated and miniaturized. One obstacle facing sensor designers is the lack of size and profile improvement in batteries and other energy storage devices that maintain sufficient capacity to deliver the necessary power and energy. This White Paper describes how new thin film battery technologies solve this problem. Also learn how to create permanent power Energy Harvesting devices using solar and... preview: http://www.cymbet.com|
